Crontab - running a scrtipt

[Juzbrig]

Hello

I'll describe my problem I have my own server running which sometimes "crashes", so I thought I could check every minute and if its down - start it.

I wrote a script

#!/bin/bash

if ! lsof | grep 6011
then /home/path/server config.xml
fi

exit 0

Script is working If I run it manually, but if I run it through Cron.

crontab -e
0-59 * * * * /home/path/server_enabler.sh

its not working Cron itself is good, because i wrote simple script creating a file, and its ok. I tried to add & at the end to run it in the BG, but it didn't help. What could be the problem ?

The issue is most likely environment.
cron has a different one that your user.
So you need to find out, what $PATH, etc your server needs.

Other than that:
It would be possible to implement the restart functionality via /etc/inittab.

Other other than that
The best option is to find out why this server crashes and fix that.

I copied my environment

env > .profile

then found on he internet how to run cron, I tried

0-59 * * * *  /usr/bin/bash -c '. /home/myuser/.profile && /home/path/myscript.sh'

and

0-59 * * * * [ -f /home/myuser/.profile ] && . /home/jimmy/.profile && /home/jimmy/cha/scripts/cekpderr

But no response from the Cron (wish there was a error log or something)

EDIT:
I simplified script to

#!/bin/bash

/home/path/server config.xml

exit 0

and still nothing.

It works !
I modified the script :

if ! lsof | grep 6011
then 
cd /home/sciezka/
./server konfig.xml
fi
